Abstract

The movement of populations following environmental events is not a new phenomenon but, compared to the past, the altering of ecosystems by man has become greater and faster, with significant direct and indirect effects: “the social consequences of environmental processes is one of the greatest challenges facing the international community in the coming years” (Bogumil, 2012, p.5) above all the management of migratory flows for the North and the mitigation of natural risks for the South (Castles, 2002). The terms used to define anyone who moves due to climatic or environmental changes are numerous and there is still no agreement on a common definition: climate or environmental refugees, eco-immigrants, eco-refugees or, according to studies promoted by the European Union or international organisations, environmentally induced migrations, forced migrations due to environmental causes, climate migrants or environmentally displaced persons1

A l'orée de ce XXI ème siècle, l'immigration occupe le haut des pavés. Elle est devenue un sujet de préoccupation mondiale. Tous les pays s'y intéressent, particulièrement ceux du bassin méditerranéen. Les crises sociales qu'a connue la société internationale ont mis en exergue la détresse des populations et leur souhait pour un avenir meilleur. L'objectif de ce colloque est de jeter quelques jalons, en vue de comprendre le phénomène et de lui apporter des réponses adéquates. Toutes les politiques d'immigration mises en place depuis les années cinquante ont montré leurs limites. Elles sont devenues caduques et inadaptées aux contexte actuel. Le temps des grandes cathédrales doctrinales est révolu. L'historien, le juriste, le praticien ou encore l'homme de lettres sont tous invités à renouveler leurs approches. Il est temps de faire une cure de jouvence et de voir le phénomène migratoire autrement. Il est opportun aussi d'uniformiser l'appréhension afin d'éviter des cacophonies inutiles.
